Boat for sale. If that was a sign, it might as well read, 'Give me your wallet and access to your bank account, and in exchange I'll give you a boat that does not suite your needs.'

The boat buying market is huge, with very little logic in the pricing structures, especially in the used market. If you are about to look for your first boat, you will want to keep several factors in the front of your mind before even making an offer.

One of the most common errors is to be oversold and wind up with a boat that will not do what you originally set out to do. For example, if your primary purpose in getting a boat is to go fishing in small inlets, the fact that the boat you are looking at comes with four bunks in the lower deck for the same price as the bass boat down the street is of no concern. If you get the larger boat, it will not physically fit where you want to use it. That is not a bargain. Make sure that the boat will be able to serve the function for which you want it.

Size is important for another reason, also. You need to be sure that you have the skills and expertise to handle the boat. Getting in over your head and buying a boat you cannot yet operate not only will cause you frustration, but could become a safety hazard to yourself and your passengers. You can trade the boat in later for another one as your skills improve.

Additionally, you will need to trailer it, even if only occasionally. Do you have a trailer that will fit the boat? If not, the cost of the trailer will become a factor as well. Many people forget this fact when they get caught up in the excitement of buying a boat. Large beams may also require a special trailer permit in some locales. Forgetting these important facts can truly leave you high and dry.

You will also need to make sure you know what the draft is before you buy a boat. Does your marina have deep enough waters to support the draft? Is the draft short enough to get to the waterways in which you will be taking your boat? If you do not know the answer to these questions, you must find out before even making an offer on a boat.

If you are not sure of some of the answers to these questions, before you even start looking for a boat, visit your local marina and talk to some of the captains. They will be happy to share information with you and help you find out what types of boats will work best for you.

It is OK to get excited about buying a boat. It can be something that will provide you with a lifetime of enjoyment. Just be sure to buy the boat that will best suit your needs, so that boating can be all fun and no hassle. The more suited your boat is to your purposes, the more enjoyment you will get out of it.

Most personal water craft are designed for two or three people, though four-passenger models exist. Stand-up PWCs were first to see mass production and are still popular for single riders. The invention of both major types of PWC is credited to Clayton Jacobson II of Arizona, originally a motocross enthusiast.

Jet Ski is the brand name of personal watercraft (PWC) manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd.. The name, however, has become a genericized trademark for any type of personal watercraft. Jet Ski (or JetSki, often shortened to "Ski"[1]) can also specifically refer to versions of PWCs with pivoting handlepoles known as "stand-ups".

Apart from the obvious hazards of collisions and mechanical breakdowns common to all vehicles, personal watercraft feature the unique hazard of orifice injuries. Such injuries are the logical result of the unusually close proximity of PWC riders to the output end of the pump jet, as well as the fact that personal watercraft are usually not enclosed. A rider who falls (or is ejected) off the back can land directly in the path of the PWC's high-pressure jet of water. Unless a rider is appropriately dressed in garments made out of a strong, thick substance like neoprene (as is commonly found in wetsuits), the jet will easily penetrate any orifice it reaches. The consequences include permanent disability or death.For example, in 2006, the California Court of Appeal (First District) upheld a $3.7 million Napa County jury verdict against Polaris Industries arising out of one such incident (which had devastating effects on the victim's lower abdomen).

Seychelles or Maldives?

Can anyone offer their opinion or experience in cruising either of these places? I understand that both are beautiful but can be pretty expensive. My wife and I are looking for somewhere to sit out a change of seasons between Sept and Jan before heading up the Red Sea in time for a Med spring/summer (during our Indian Ocean crossing from Oz).
